The ST. Andreasberc Canary.

''The finest of all canaries," said a
dealer, ''is the ST. Andreasberg bird, so
called after one of the Hartz mountains,
Germany. st. AndreEsberg is also the
name of a town of about 1000 inhabi-
tants, the principal industry of which is
raising canaries. Every one is in the
business there, but there are certain
breeders who give it more particular care,
and they have great reputation through
out Germany. 1t is almost impossible to
import the very finest st. Andreasberg
canaries TO this country. They are
snapped up by the big German fanciers,
who will pay us high as 400 or 500 marks
for good singer. Think of a canary
bird costing $780,
"The St. Andreasberg trained canary is
smaller and more delicate than the COM
mon bird and its plumage is not so bright
and pretty. But its song is perfection.
BY judiciously mating the birds Of the
most pronounced excellence the breeders
are able to produce those from
whose song all harsh notes have been
eliminated. The music which these little
fellows can trill forth is exquisite, but it
is all the result Of the most careful in
struction. A perfectly trained canary
will always begin its song with a few
faint notes, which sound like tho first
twittering of birds at dawn heard when
you are fast asleep. 1t is o mere sugges-
ton of a song. Then will come roll
still very faint-in three octaves, first low,
then higher and then down again. Gradu-
ally the tone increases in volume until it
bursts forth in all its rich fulness. New

Editors Working the Company.

Talk about editors having hard times;
about the worst L ever had was when an
other fellow and myself ran a paper in
Tennessee. We were so hard up that we
couldn't afford a fire at our Office i'll win
ter time, and we actually had no warmth
In our apartments. But we were not dis
mayed. Why? Because we both had an
nuaI passes on the railroad, and there
was nothing to prevent US from boarding
the train when it came through in the
evening and riding on it till midnight.
Then we would get of, wait for the re-
turn train and ride back again. We took
turns on the watch so that we wouldn't be
carried past our place at o'clock in the
morning Yet there are worse places to
run a paper than Tennessee.

seven Ground Hogs Found Frozen

frozen to death on the mountain road lead

for weather prophets of the human species,
and it behooves them to study it carefully
and WELL AS far back as any person now
living can remember this old chestnut
about the ground hog and his shadow has
been successfully worked on confdlng
people but it has at last succumbed to the
fate it so richly deserved. Never until the
present year did the ground hog fail to
see his shadow on the day appointed the
natural six weeks Of cold weather came
and went, his ground hogship received all
of the credit and was next in importance
to the editor of weekly newspaper But
now every thing is changed. The ground
hog did not see his shadow this year and
the deluded creature, puffed up with its
own.inportance and imagined knowledge,
comes forth and is frozen to sdeath. The
ground hog theory is bursted and it is diff
cult, as Katishaw says in the Mikado, to
find another that will hold fire so long

formal reception. Acting upon the theory
that "the way to mans heart is through

them some sort of edibles and bounteous
repast was prepared of which all present
partook. A song Of Welcome, written es-

which few brief remarks were made by

there being only one young man present

following is the song OF welcome referred
to above;
Welcome, thrice welcome, to our pastor
Welcome to our Church once more.
Be thou our shepherd, guide us and lead US,
Teach us as we've been taught OF yore.
